🎿 Sundance Resort

Sundance Resort, also known as Sundance Mountain Resort, is a ski resort 13 miles (21 km) northeast of Provo, Utah. It includes more than 5,000 acres (2,000 ha) on the slopes of Mount Timpanogos in Utah's Wasatch Range. Alpine skiing began on the site in 1944. Actor Robert Redford acquired the area in 1968, and eventually established a year-round resort that spawned the independent Sundance Film Festival in 1978 and the nonprofit Sundance Institute in 1980. In 2020, Redford sold the resort to Broadreach Capital Partners and Cedar Capital Partners, but continued to live there until he died in 2025. The resort was first listed as a census-designated place (CDP) before the 2020 census, in which the population was 113.
